3 Top Dividend Aristocrats to Buy Now

In uncertain times, it can be difficult to determine which stocks you should hold on to through blue skies and stormy weather.

Which is exactly why all smart investors should have at least a few Dividend Aristocrats in their portfolio. There aren't many of them, but as you watch other investors panic, you can rest easy on the sidelines knowing your money is safely growing with three of these solid bets. Let's look at why Walmart (NYSE: WMT), Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), and Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) all qualify.
